An action or claim may be dismissed by court order, on terms the Court considers proper. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(2). “Voluntary dismissal under Rule 41(a)(2) should not be granted if a party will be prejudiced by the dismissal.” Adams v. USAA Cas. Ins. Co., 863 F.3d 1069, 1079 (8th Cir. 2017). Good cause exists for the motion, as the Court sees no reason why the parties would be prejudiced by the dismissal of Defendant Quadratec, Inc.’s crossclaims.

Defendant Quadratec, Inc.’s crossclaims against Defendants FCA US LLC and Lonnie McCurry’s Four-Wheel-Drive-Center, Inc. are hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. Plaintiffs have not yet moved to dismiss their claims against Defendants pursuant to the parties’ settlement agreement, so those claims remain pending.
